“ I chose Fife College because it was convenient , being so close to home and because of its excellent reputation .”
Neil Muirhead Studying for a career in Health and Social Care
I spent 26 years working in bars and restaurants but then , when my son turned 3 , he was diagnosed with autism . It was then that I decided I wanted to pursue a career helping people with disabilities .
I started studying my HNC and then HND and that lead me to my current course which is BA : Learning Difficulties / Disabilities .
My favourite part of the course , apart from the knowledge you gain , is meeting new people .
The best thing about studying at Fife College is the way they lay out the courses . They bring you in nice and gently and the whole thing is as enjoyable as possible for learners .
My lecturers also found me a placement , working in a residential childcare facility which is a challenging but very rewarding job .
